I was listening to Radio 4 on the way into work and heard that the today programme are having a vote on what British laws should be repealed for christmas.

Quote:
We want you to suggest a law which you think should be scrapped.
Which is Britain's least useful or most damaging law? If possible, be specific. Our panel of politicians (across the spectrum) and legislation experts will sift your nominations to come up with a shortlist of six.
That shortlist will go to a vote and, on New Year's Day, we'll announce the winning - or, more accurately, losing - law. At the very least, we hope, we'll fuel debate. But we'll also see whether any politician is brave enough to take the views of Today listeners to the House of Commons.
Who knows where it might lead? Watch this space.

So I wondered what the people of GD would suggest?
The two mentioned this morning was "tuition fees" (obviously) and "cycling on the pavement" (it's even illegal for toddlers to ride a tricycle)
There's a few obvious ones - Drugs use (Deepflow), Age of consent (Dace), etc.
So what would people seriously (or not) like to see repealed?
